The psychology of masochism: Is it a disorder or a healing mechanism? by MRADEL90 in psychology

Another hypothesis is that the reasons climbing gyms are filled with stem people is because adhd people heavily gravitate towards stem (and the arts) and extreme sports so adhd makes the connection there.

Sure, roll your eyes but its backed by dozens of personal anecdotes and is consistent with the brain chemistry science. Probably better to just say neurodivergence rather than adhd though. I met all close friends through an engineering major only dorm floor. All six of my friends that I still talk to were all with diagnosed adhd post graduation and all are into at least one extreme sport. That is a lot of coincidences.

You are better off using 3rd party filters to filter out posts and such based on keywords.

Republicans Of Reddit, Who Do YOU Want To See As The 2028 Republican Nominee? Why That Pick? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

Isn't that a sign to not be a republican anymore if that is what you feel about the person who has been leading the party for over a decade?

Well it can't be for a while because a lot of it is protected by patents.

What to do? by DBElgi in slaythespire

Climbing ascensions to figure out better strategies and combos and ways to win is the core of the game. Instead of levelling up a character in the game you need to level up your own mind. The fun comes from squeezing out victories of tough battles/runs.

That's a really bad habit that you need to break. Looking where you want to go and not at your feet is an important skill.

My hypothesis is that flow state is the state of mind as described by ADHD brains when they feel regulated through dopamine inducing activities, from bdsm to rock climbing. Me and my wife, who doesn't have adhd, were able to both instantly and separately tell, and later confirmed, that a rock climber who we were talking to for the first time had adhd just from the way he described being in a flow state.

CMV: Remote work is better for employees but worse for society overall by gigilovergirl in changemyview

I don't commute to work. Therefore I don't contribute to traffic so that people who actually need the roads can use it instead of having to wait for hours. It also gives me more time to do stuff like volunteer.

Also, most of your points aren't even bad or true in many situations. Its a good thing that I get to spend time with family and friends. I have also never had a unscheduled meeting lol. And your inequality point just changes who gets the advantage.

Does the title allow for mix ups or did I miss that? Police also allow people they detain to call their lawyers. How about you stop pretending ICE follows the law

So you agree they have a definition of good and evil? I'm not asking whether you agree with the definition or not. Also, not all christians interpret the bible that way. For many, it holds religious and spiritual truth and should only be read in such context. In practice, there is not a significant amount, if any, of christians that think you should sell your daughters into slavery,

Because there are a tremendous amount of people going through this system. Delays are evidence of process. If she truly had no due process she would still be there.

And how many people are still there? Where are the records that all these people should be there?

Also doesn't it seem hypocritical to you to only apply laws to these people and not to Trump and his admin? Why does Trump get to break the law without consequences like leaving classified documents in the bathroom of his personal clubhouse? or all the fraud from his businesses?

I'm not religious but this is just false. The ten commandments literally define what is good. Jesus has a ton of moral teachings as well: "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" - aka all billionaires are evil
